Woman vandalizes pro-Israel poster

Mona Eltahawy screams at police: "What are you arresting me for?" For starters, spray painting walls in a subway, assaulting another citizen, pushing and shoving. Screaming at police. Resisting arrest. Stupidity? Racism? And she's a CNN and MSNBC favorite guest? I've never seen her, have to take their word for it. Her 5 minutes of fame.

However, I viewed the video, and it was not an anti-Muslim poster, it was pro-Israel, condemning Jihad.  So I don't know who wrote the headline. But we've twisted the English language so much, now supporting Israel is anti-Muslim; supporting traditional marriage is homophobic; saying Obama and Chicago in the same sentence is racist.
